Two-time world champion magician Shawn Farquhar leads this exploration into the connection between magic and playing cards.
In the process, he tries to solve the mystery of the King of Hearts generally agreed to portray Charles VIII of France whose death was assumed to be suicide but may, in fact, have been a murder. The clues to unravel this 500-year-old mystery are hidden in the playing cards.
“Farquhar’s impressive sleight-of-hand makes for one hell of a show”, David Cuevas, POV Magazine
